The Beersheba Springs Medical was founded in 2010 by a group of concerned individuals in response to the difficult access to care in Grundy County. Dr. Garrett Adams of Louisville, Ky. spearheaded the effort to provide medical services and the medical clinic opened that same year.
The clinic is completely free to anyone, not just Grundy County residents, and is staffed with several nurse practitioners and volunteer doctors including general practice residents from Yale Medical School and Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga. No insurance payment is accepted and funding is provided by individual donations, grants and patient donations.
In response to a large number of patients with oral infections the dental clinic was opened in 2019 with a generous grant from Delta Dental Insurance of Tennessee. The Dental Clinic is staffed by a dental assistant and three dentists including residents from a general practice dental residency program at Revive Dentistry in Chattanooga.
Overseeing both clinics and writing grant proposals, along with myriad other duties, is Beersheba Springs Medical and Dental Clinic executive director Mandy Eller.
Eller and Dr. Bruce Baird provided a presentation before Monteagle-Sewanee Rotary on Jan. 12.
BSMC is located at 19592 TN-56 in Beersheba Springs and is open Mondays and Wednesdays from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. and 1-4 p.m.
